Ukraine’s government accepts Saakashvili’s resignation

The Ukrainian government has accepted the resignation of
Governor of the Odessa Region, Mikheil Saakashvili, Ukrainskaya
Pravda reported on Wednesday.

"The government made this decision on Wednesday, while
considering personnel issues," the report said.

Saakashvili announced his resignation on November 7. He noted
that his move stemmed from the fact that it is impossible to fight
corruption while the country’s top officials were involved in
it.

His resignation must be accepted by Ukrainian President Pyotr
Poroshenko. The press service of the head of state earlier
suggested that Poroshenko will sign this letter of resignation if
he receives a relevant proposal from the government.
